four major banks have further improved their provision coverage
it is worth noting that the provision coverage of the four major banks further increased in the first quarter of this year after a significant increase in the provision coverage last year

The provision coverage rate of ABC at the end of the first quarter exceeded 300%, reaching 307.50%, an increase of 7.77 percentage points over the end of the previous year.
The executive meeting of the State Council held not long ago proposed to encourage large banks with high provision level to reduce the provision rate in an orderly manner. Although the provision coverage rate of the four major banks was further improved in the first quarter of this year, the provision coverage rate of the four major banks may decline in order to further increase credit supply.
Zeng Gang, deputy director of the national finance and development laboratory, recently told the Chinese reporter of the securities times securities firm that the provision coverage rate is a commonly used counter cyclical adjustment index for banks. When the economy is good, banks generally improve the provision coverage, that is, they “deposit” part of their profits first. When the economy goes down and non-performing loans increase, banks will moderately reduce the provision coverage and release some profits, which will not only help banks stabilize the overall profitability, but also improve the bank’s capital accumulation ability and reduce the credit cost, so as to improve the bank’s ability to make profits to the real economy.
